In a world overflowing with noise, notifications, and never-ending demands, staying spiritually focused has never been more complicated. In this week's message, we explore the inner distractions that quietly drain our confidence, clarity, and calling.

Not the loud, obvious distractions we typically blame. But the distractions that grow right alongside the good things God planted in us. Through Jesus' parable of the wheat and weeds in Matthew 13:24-30, we uncover why some seasons feel spiritually crowded, why purpose feels harder than it should, and why growing distractions might actually be proof that you are rooted right where God intends you to be.

If you've ever felt pulled in every direction or wondered why faith feels stretched thin sometimes, this episode will speak to your everyday world. We're talking purpose, focus, spiritual resilience, and the kind of grounded peace that cuts through chaos. Because what God planted in you is powerful, and the harvest ahead is brighter than you think.

Jesus didn't speak in parables to confuse you, He spoke in stories because He knows your heart learns in layers. In this message, Pastor Brandon opens Matthew 13:10-17 to break down why some people hear God clearly while others stay stuck, and how a softer heart can change everything.

If you've ever looked at the Bible or the church and wondered, "Does this make sense? Can this be real?," this episode is going to help you.
